Research has begun to document the impact of COVID-19, and corresponding restrictions associated with the pandemic, to several unintended consequences including increased rates of family violence. Given these findings, there have been calls for research to understand predictors of family violence, and how such predictors may shift during differing periods of the pandemic. Rooted in the family stress model and social disorganization theory, this study used call for service data from two police departments located in the Midwest of the United States, to examine whether the relationship between sociostructural indices on the number of family violence incidents varied in the times before, during, and after COVID-19 Safer-at-Home orders. Based on a series of negative binomial regression models, results show that the association between neighborhood (i.e., Census block group) concentrated poverty, the percentage of the population between 15 and 24 years of age, and the percentage of the population that identify as male on family violence was amplified during and/or after the adoption of the Safer-at-Home order. Results also indicated that the Safer-at-Home order eradicated the once significant effect of residential mobility and family violence incidents. Lastly, although neighborhoods located within the more populous and metropolitan city experienced fewer family violence incidents, compared to the mixed rural-suburban city, the gap in the number of incidents per neighborhood decreased in the times following the enactment of the Safer-at-Home order. Based on these findings, proactive and reactive policies regarding resource dissemination and increasing neighboring activities are discussed.

研究已开始记录 COVID-19 的影响以及与该流行病相关的相应限制对一些意想不到的后果的影响，包括家庭暴力发生率的增加。鉴于这些发现，有人呼吁进行研究以了解家庭暴力的预测因素，以及这些预测因素在大流行的不同时期可能如何变化。本研究以家庭压力模型和社会解体理论为基础，利用美国中西部两个警察局的求助数据，检验社会结构指数与家庭暴力事件数量之间的关系是否随时代变化。在 COVID-19“居家更安全”订单之前、期间和之后。基于一系列负二项式回归模型，结果表明，社区（即人口普查街区组）集中贫困、15 至 24 岁人口百分比以及男性人口百分比之间存在关联在《家庭安全令》通过期间和/或之后，对家庭暴力的关注得到了加强。结果还表明，“居家更安全”令消除了居住流动和家庭暴力事件曾经产生的重大影响。最后，虽然人口较多的大都市内的社区发生的家庭暴力事件较少，但与农村和郊区混合的城市相比，每个社区的事件数量差距在《居家更安全》颁布后有所缩小。命令。基于这些发现，讨论了有关资源分配和增加邻近活动的主动和被动政策。
